What color is Sherwin Williams Metropolis?
Sherwin Williams Metropolis SW 9575 is a deep, muted charcoal-brown with a soft reddish cast that keeps it from reading as flat black. Its low saturation gives the color a weathered, grounded look, especially on large wall areas or built-in cabinetry. In bright natural light, Metropolis can reveal more of its warm brown undertone, while evening lighting tends to pull it toward a near-black charcoal. Pair it with warm white trim, aged brass, cognac leather, or pale oak to bring out its earthy character. This shade is especially effective for library walls, dining rooms, exterior accents, or a dramatic kitchen island.

LRV of Metropolis
Metropolis has an LRV of 8.38% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 8.38%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
